The Impreza also features a boxer engine, which has a flat cylinder configuration, creating a lower center of gravity, and providing enhanced handling stability. The Corolla does not have a boxer configuration engine.

Fuel Range

Suspension and Handling

The fully independent front and rear suspensions of the Subaru Impreza make for superior ride and handling. The independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort. The Toyota Corolla has a rear torsion beam axle, with a semi-independent rear suspension. The Impreza also features a longer wheel base than the Corolla, 104.1 inches versus 102.4 inches, which contributes to the Impreza having a smoother ride and better handling than the Corolla.
